Scripture References:

Acts 14:11

Story Summary:

In Lystra, after seeing the crippled man healed, the people and priests of idolatry called Barnabas, Jupiter and Paul, Mercurius. They thought Barnabas and Paul were gods and these were the names of some of the gods they worshipped. The priest of Jupiter and the people began to prepare to sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas as if they were gods. Paul and Barnabas tore their clothing and went among them telling them they were men just like them. They told them, Don't do this thing but worship the God who created all things, doing good, and giving rain and fruitful seasons to all the earth. How about you? Do you want the adoration of man? Do you look to others for approval and validation or do you look to God? I desire to see you in Sunday School at 10:00 A.M..
